Alignment of modular AI Act standards with holistic L-accuracy

Ascertain how the JTC 21 working groups' modular approach to drafting standards for Articles 9–15 of the EU AI Act aligns with the holistic nature of L-accuracy.

Background

The paper characterizes L-accuracy as a purpose-oriented and normative concept that must be interpreted across the AI system's lifecycle and in connection with risk management, robustness, cybersecurity, intended purpose, and social effects. This holistic conception contrasts with the modular organization of compliance requirements in the EU AI Act.

The authors identify as an unresolved practical question whether the modular standard-drafting approach used by the JTC 21 working groups can adequately accommodate the integrated and context-dependent character of L-accuracy.
